During her incarceration, Gauche develops a survival strategy based on verbal witness: she describes her everyday life in pages that she performs in a slam in the prison yard. On these occasions, she also invites her fellow inmates to sit in a circle and share their stories, which she writes in her notebook. There she also puts down her own texts, titled by date, but also the calendar that allows her to keep track of the days and to measure the impact of the prison experience on her menstrual cycle. Six months later, she performs these documents on the film set, in an individual and collective and deeply political act of witness.

A dedicated program, written in the MAX/MSP environment, allows a range of plastic processes specific to the post-traumatic experience to be simulated within the editing itself, through more or less subtle, more or less minute disturbances. These underline the violence that Gauche still remembers, but also her resilience -- the courage to stand tall on the shoot and perform in front of the camera.
